Handbooker Helper: Advantage & Disadvantage

What if......you just roll 1 d20 all the time 🤔

poor explanation Gert the people with brains back on the videos

:(

Such a shame she had to degrade herself with tats

So the lucky feat takes priority over advantage & disadvantage, but what about a wizard's Portent?

Is she a voice actor?

Failure can be fun!

I feel like I keep hearing different things when it comes to the lucky feat and (dis)advantage.
Here, it's said that YOU get to choose which of the 3 dice you want to use. But I have also heard that lucky should only be about 1 die at a time, so you choose which of the 2 (dis)advantaged dice is being possibly replaced.

Example to clarify: If you roll atk with disadvantage, and you roll a nat 20 and a nat 2, you need to take the 2. With the lucky feat of the video, you just roll an extra die, and the result of it doesn't matter, cause you just take the 20.
In the rule I have heard before, you need to choose if you want to contest the 20 or the 2. So if the third die is a 13, your choice, since you rolled with disadvantage, is between a 2 and a 13.

I don't know which is more common, and I don't feel like the rules under the Lucky feat is clear about it, so I guess this would be up to the DM

"Advantage, Advantage, Disadvantage = straight roll"

Hasnt that happened in critical role campaigns before though?

Someone having advantage, but due to a negative effect they would have disadvantage which cancel it out, but then something else would be giving them advantage and they rolled 2?

This video is wrong, Luck dose not cancel Adv or Dis. It happens before Adv or Dis and replaces one dice of your choice after you roll the Adv or Dis. Come on Crit Roll i know your better than this get your facts right please :). now i know you said "sort of Cancels it out" but still that is misleading to new players.

FYI Sage advice exists for a reason, check it first before you claim you know what the common rule is :)

Handbooker Helper is the most important playlist for me.

I’m my game I’ll do triple

Oh damn Ive been been a DM for the last 6 months and using disadvantage wrong 😂

I homebrew advantage to be logical

One good way to gain advantage: bargain something very valuable like some supplies for your very own familiar

If you have multiple attacks with a sneak attack do you get advantage on all both attacks or just the first one?

I'm checking this out because she's so cute

That luckfeat seems... strong?

She looks better without makeup

Luck sounds pretty OP

That ding is my only reason for living.

Only D&D players know the pain of rolling a natural 20 and natural 1 on disadvantage.

So let me get this straight. Advantage/Disadvantage is just a way to roll a fake dice that could have had a better result. If you think about it that way, you're technically still rolling one dice, just dont get your hopes up for the better roll.

I mean, if you believe in luck like a fleeting currency It would make sense, otherwise... I can see why this mechanic wasn't in previous editions and we could do without it as it's mostly psychological.

In which case, the only real useful mechanic here is lucky, letting you actually have a choice.

ding!

So glad I took the lucky feat for my warrior monk. Totally felt great getting that super advantage.

I’m a new dm. This was really helpful

I know that this series largely focuses on the PHB, but will it continue and cover the DMG, Monster Manual and other books? Or can Matt do DM Tips for CR?

this was ridiculously helpful, thank you!

Bigby! My word...

booooo!!!!! Getting quadruple advantage on rolls because of our party build was the most fun, the handbook is wrong!

One homebrew rule I usually apply to my game sessions is that most creatures that can fly, while they are in flight, non magical ranged attack rolls made against them are disadvantaged. My personal rationale is that it would most likely be significantly harder to hit a quick flying target as opposed to a quick ground target. But to balance this, I also usually put a cap on the amount of times certain creatures can fly per day. The amount varies from creature to creature and it depends on a lot of factors that I take into consideration. But it overall applies to all flying creatures. From simple birds, to ancient dragons. Because even powerful creatures must at some point fatigue if constantly batting their wings to stay aloft.

I loved that crowned d20!

I took the advantage of handbooker helper, but I did this with a disadvantage, since I did this while working.

Elven Accuracy feat + Lucky feat = 4D20 rolled on advantage, pick your favorite of the four, have fun.

Can a gm give disadvantage for hours in the game

clear, great use of graphics, really helpful! thanks Marisha :)

"Can I have advantage, because the ground is prone?"
(for clarification, it was someone doing a check for putting a flag into the ground)

I thought 2 Advantage conditions and 1 Disadvantage condition would come out to 1 Advantage, ergo roll with Advantage.

wait, what about the halflings' lucky feat? can reroll nat 1's

Thank I'm DM for the first time so I really need help with rules lol

Question: if take the lowest result on a disadvantage do you win a ability check? Or no?

Then came the day when Chris Perkins came up with double disadvantage.




And Minsc beat it.

@Critical Role: Where do we get Marisha's top? That's a pretty funny slogan...

Rey i love you 😍

You ever have a rogue who has 4 advantages per turn, basically rolling 5 dice to hit and taking the highest. Then you watch this and finally have a reason to tell him to stop rolling d20s

Matt must have the luck feat to have married such a unicorn. Damn you, Mikisugi, you fortunate SOB.
